Vet Netters Lose Jobs
OWA CITY Iowa Dec 22 Every regular of the 27 28 basketball team is back at Iowa this season but some of them aren t going to play regularly. The sophomores are too good Plunkitt and Kinna a forward and guard last year already have lost their jobs to Nelson the football goal kicker and Geneva and Captain Wilcox center. Twogood forward and ex captain and Davis guard are none too sure of their positions. The abundance of material causes Coach Barry to think his Iowa squad is sure to be in the Big Ten title race. He hopes to have two teams each about as good as the other.
